This project was carried out to summarize the results of our two foregoing projects sponsored by Monbusho. These projects revealed the common cultural elements in traditional agriculture among the various areas such as Insular Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, Coastal South India and Madagascar, whose geographical locations are comprised in the Trans-Indian Ocean.
This project consisted of three activities as follows; supplementary research in Sri Lanka and South India, invitation of foreign participants and holding a joint-seminar, and the preparation for publishing our research products.
